Aldrem Corredor reached base five times with two singles and three walks (one intentional) while Nick Basto walked once and doubled twice to lead the 13-hit, seven-walk Potomac offense, which hit into four double plays and left 15 runners on base.

Yonathan Ramirez went the first five inning and gave up three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three. Nector Ramirez issued the tying run on a homer to lead off the 8th, then gave up two more with the “help” of an error for the blown-save-loss.
